During a May 14 commencement address to Old Miss graduates, retired news anchor and journalist Tom Brokaw said, “more guns … will mean more homegrown acts of terror.”
Tom Brokaw lamented the continuing expansion of gun ownership and the success of gun rights organizations that support that expansion.
According to The Commercial Appeal, Brokaw referenced the homicide rate in Democrat-run Memphis, Tennessee, then said:
I’m appalled by the determination of organizations and individuals to arm more people without any appreciation of the consequence of evermore lethal weapons in our midst. More guns and more firearm tolerance will mean more homegrown acts of terror.
He remained on the topic of guns, telling the graduating class of the University of Mississippi, “Yes, we have a constitutional right to own guns … but with that right comes a personal obligation to be on guard against the promiscuous use of guns (and) not to pretend that no limits means no trouble.”

More Mulsims Mean More Homegrown Terror
No, Tom...more guns in the hands of law abiding citizens means more thwarted crime, more wounded or dead criminals...and more saved law abiding citizens.
Too bad we don’t have common sense civilian disarmament like they have in France. That’s why there is no terrorism there.
Tom Brokaw.
His philosophical retardation is showing.
More grads need to institute the policy of a show in the 1970’s.....GONG!
Tom, you’re senile.
guns don’t kill people, terrorist muslims kill people.
Did he get booo’ed off the stage at Ole Miss?
If not, they were slacking. That kind of commencement speech needs to be reserved for UConn, or Princeton; places where gun ownership marks you as a subhuman to the fern bar crowd...
C’mon Ole Miss, why even invite a hypocritical POS with an agenda?
Same cat who said on Election Night 2008, that you were to “Take that” from the election of a biracial dude to the White House
And throw in Gene Gene the Dancing Machine. (RIP)
“Yes, we have a constitutional right to {speech and press} … but with that right comes a personal obligation to be on guard against the promiscuous use of {speech and press} (and) not to pretend that no limits means no trouble.”
Your comments, Tommy?
Tom Brokaw probably has quite a few guns at his Montana ranch.
I could never stand this hypocrite. After his news reading, he would always have a little ending segment in which he would smile lovingly if it matched the PC narrative, or give a smarmy harumph! if the subject matter was not PC.
He cashed in royally while trashing our nation. I despise Tom Brokaw, lifelong democrat.
Garbage. Decades of data clearly indicate the contrary. BTT
Law abiding gun owners just aren’t Brokaw’s kind of people.
Typical condescending liberal. Bet he lives in a gated community with security, the hypocrite.
“Homegrown terror”?
You mean the gang-bangers?
Just shoot em.
Paging Professor Lott..
